Former President Donald Trump said he'd "absolutely" be up for adding Elon Musk to his cabinet though he believes Musk will serve more as a consultant.
The Trump II cabinet so far: Tulsi Gabbard, RFK, Jr. and Elon Musk.
Can we shatter this bullshit about tech bros who struck it lucky with some early dotcom investment being geniuses?
I’m fucking tired of hearing about how these barely functional assholes who chanced into luck once are geniuses or in any way genuinely earned their wealth. They’re all fuck heads that spend most of their time trying to justify why they’re entitled to their lavish lifestyles…
In fact, can we just stop using the term genius? Some people are pretty good at some shit, but the elitism associated with that term is fucking toxic.
It goes beyond that and is largely related to the same anti-intellectual propaganda we have had shoved down our throats for decades (basically since reagan).
Think back to basically every single movie/tv show with a “smart” character. Invariably, they are “cool” and have anti-authority tendencies. And, invariably, there is a character who is a conventional nerd who is actually an idiot compared to this cool kid with an ice rink in their basement because they pronounced a word wrong or got a single question wrong.
And what has that done? It has raised generations of people to value “genius” over “smart” where someone who is quirky and weird is WAY more intelligent than the person who actually just sits down and reads things. THOSE people are losers.
And what does a balding techbro with hairplugs who has driven double digit companies into the ground have? That’s right, he thinks he is a living meme and thus must be a genius.
Nope. And his degree was awarded after he stopped attending after a large donation by daddy. No one in the physics programs remembers Elon in class. Only official statement they will give since transcripts are not public.
I would even say he had a good run of picking good ideas and making them work. But I think he’s too rich and crazy and out of touch now, he has lost his drive.

Elon inherited apartheid wealth and then got lucky in addition to that. He would have a fine life without his “investment genius” or how they call it.
You support me = genius. You don’t support me = asshole, woke, liberal, loser, commie, ect. Ass kissers at their best.
Genius = born into wealth
These pricks were both born on third base and think they hit a triple.

Had me until then, he has lots of bad qualities, the above isn’t one of them.
Only a Batchelor degree and college drop out. Genius seems to be a broad term nowadays.
Not even a STEM BSc IIRC.

Really? That means I’ve accomplished far more academically than this billionaire???
Bill Gates actually understand com sci
